My friends did not like Ban Jian Kuih II as they said that it tasted too much of alkali. So, have to search and tweak again. I came to realised that there is an Indonesian Cake called 'Terang Bulan' which is quite similar, only the filling is different. So, here i go again, making it this time with an egg and less alkali solution. It turned out pretty good for now, cos i am still trying to figure how to make it more chewy.

Great work Lily! I tried this with sweetcorn and butter AND it was just fab! But I put 200 ml of water and 25 to 30 ml of milk instead of just water and milk powder so the batter was a bit more "milky".

the batter needs a rest of 30 - 60 minutes rest, so baking soda is a better choice of leavening and besides that it is more potent. double action baking powder can be sub but not single action baking powder
